This bake encapsulates summer. It’s made with Tesco Finest extra virgin olive oil, produced by a family mill in southern Sicily, which makes the cake extra moist. It also adds a delicious layer of flavour and offers a healthier, dairy-free alternative to butter.
In the summer, I want cake I can serve after barbecues with a ball of ice-cream. This easy recipe works really well for that. Simply boil an orange then blend it into a silky cake batter, and you’ll have a deliciously light and fragrant cake where the citrus notes really come alive. And, of course, it’s even better served with an indulgent scoop of Tesco Finest pistachio ice-cream or pistachio gelato, for a velvety and nutty flavour.
